This exceptional five-bedroom detached family home has been meticulously extended and renovated in recent years to combine modern luxury with period elegance. Situated on an elevated 0.53 acre plot, Sparrows Hill House enjoys amazing southerly views over the surrounding rolling countryside and is bordered by woodland which forms part of the adjoining Shortgrove Estate. Set back from the road, a gated entrance within the boundary wall opens to a spacious gravel driveway allowing considerable off-road parking and provides access to a double garage (which benefits from an electric vehicle charger) and the detached annex, which in itself is suitable for a variety of uses.

Inside, the property has been thoughtfully extended and upgraded, the old and new seamlessly joining together. The welcoming and inviting entrance hall with its glazed entrance door leads to all the principal, and indeed versatile, reception rooms.

To the right, the sitting room provides a quiet, more formal space with large windows and a fireplace adding to the room's elegance. Another spacious reception room used as a gym, but could be a dining or family room, provides additional flexibility ideal either for fitness activities or as a secondary entertainment area and there is an adjacent study (or snug).

A stunning double height dining area is beyond, a fantastic area for entertaining, has tall windows overlooking the garden and connects with the open plan kitchen/sitting area. The dining, kitchen and living spaces are the heart of the house, with underfloor heating and a really appealing design that includes premium AEG appliances, a Quooker tap, sleek cabinetry with cupboards and drawers and a large, pleasingly curved central island incorporating a really useful breakfast bar. The light-filled sitting area has wide bifold doors that open up onto the terrace and enjoy views of the garden. There is a fitted utility room beside the kitchen incorporating Bosh appliances, a useful dog shower and clever storage including hidden shoe and boot racks. From the dining area, a spectacular central staircase with modern glass balustrades leads to the galleried landing which also enjoys far reaching views from the double height windows in the dining area.

A light-filled landing provides access to the five generously sized bedrooms. Four of these incorporate en suite bath or shower rooms, finished to a high standard with modern fittings and a contemporary aesthetic. The superb primary suite has wonderful distant views of the garden and countryside beyond and opens to a luxurious en-suite bathroom and dressing area. The fifth bedroom is served by a well-appointed family bathroom.

Outside, the property is surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds with a variety of mature trees and suken ha-ha fencing to the boundary offering privacy. A series of spacious terraced areas (with wired outside speakers) and an area for a gas fired firepit provide a variety of outdoor spaces, great for dining and entertaining, with steps leading down to the lawns.

Adjacent to the main residence, is an independent detached annex 'Sparrows Hill Cottage' which has been fitted and equipped to a high standard with kitchen area with a wine fridge, breakfast bar, dining and sitting area, a cloakroom and two first floor bedrooms and a shower room. This could be used as a guest suite, office, or indeed studio with first floor accommodation and benefits from underfloor heating.

Sparrows Hill House, a beautifully upgraded detached property with flexible spaces and a luxurious finish, provides an ideal family home with dog friendly grounds and a gate providing access to walks within the Shortgrove Estate and the surrounding countryside.
